Retired Taxpayers Receive 93% Reduction Of IRS Bill

Retired Taxpayers Receive 93% Reduction Of IRS Bill

Both taxpayers are retired and their only income is social security.

They had been in a $500/month installment agreement and got a notice their
tax liability had increased. They came to us to see if they could make
an offer in compromise. They had recently inherited a home with no encumbrances.
The equity in the home would full pay the debt so a "garden variety"
Doubt As To Collectibility Offer In Compromise was not their best option.

We submitted a lesser-known (and rarely granted) Effective Tax Administration
(ETA) Offer In Compromise and argued that making the taxpayer take out
a mortgage on the home would cause a devastating economic hardship. It
would prevent them from being able to pay basic, necessary living expenses.

The IRS agreed and offered to settle for $950 on a $13,196.59 liability.
That’s approximately a 93% reduction!

Another Client Gets Levy Release Negotiated By Travis Watkins

Every case is different. Similar results may not be obtained in your case.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

We did it again! We are holding in our hands a Release of Levy from the
IRS. Actually we are waving it around in excitement. Another case gets
IRS relief! A Tulsa, Oklahoma couple just got news today that our efforts
to negotiate Currently Not Collectible Status for them were successful.
This relief allows the taxpayers to get on with their lives without the
IRS breathing down their neck for payments, and it keeps them safe from
future collection actions. In addition, the IRS has to release any existing levies.

Client Saves Over 99.99% Tax Liability!

Client Saves Over 99.99% Tax Liability!

A recent client of ours ran into trouble with his retirement fund when
he decided to cash out money. The IRS distinguishes this as income, in
which you are liable to pay your taxes. With his disability, he desperately
needed the compensation and didn't know how he was ever going to pay
the tax debt. Once the IRS got wind of his tax liability they issued him
a tax burden of an outstanding amount of $25,569.62. We were able to successfully
negotiate an Offer in Compromise and lower his insurmountable tax debt
to just $5.00! That's 99.99% of the total tax liability! Way to Go!

$238,723.26 Tax Liability Settled For $3,588!

$238,723.26 Tax Liability Settled For $3,588!

A hard-working oil and gas man moved to Oklahoma from Wyoming to pursue
a better job opportunity to help fund his wife's health complications.
Since he was a 1099 earner, taxes were not withheld. To make matters worse,
he wasn't able to file or pay his quarterly taxes to the IRS. After
a full investigation conducted by our office, we found his unpaid tax
debt accumulated to an insurmountable amount of $238,723.26. We quickly
filed for an Offer in Compromise and were able to successfully establish
a settlement amount of $3,588!

Tax Liability Of $69,487.18 Settled For $3,000!

Tax Liability Of $69,487.18 Settled For $3,000!

A local small business owner was struggling to make ends meet and could
not pay his estimated tax payments to the IRS. This accumulated quickly
into an insurmountable tax liability of $69,487.18, with penalties and
interest accruing. The stress and sleepless nights on this issue were
unbearable and he knew he had to find a solution. The decision to come
into Travis W. Watkins Tax Resolution and Accounting Firm made it possible
for him to settle his tax debt for just $3,000!

He didn’t know how he was ever going to get out of the hole that
he was in. He ran into financial turmoil after he was paying for his (at
the time) wife’s advanced education. Once the IRS got wind of his
tax liability they issued him a tax burden of an outstanding amount of
$118,289.19. We were able to successfully negotiate an Offer in Compromise
and lower his insurmountable debt to just $50!

Oklahoma City Fireman Receives Federal And State Tax Relief

Oklahoma City Fireman Receives Federal And State Tax Relief

With child support payments, 4 dependents, judgment garnishments and federal
and state tax levies in force, an Oklahoma City firefighter was going
home on payday with a meager $100 in his pocket every month. Matters got
worse when he was injured on the job.

Due to our efforts, the IRS released its ongoing levies and agreed to place
our client in a collection hardship status. The Oklahoma Tax Commission
indicated that it would likely follow suit and remove its garnishment.
However, the City of Oklahoma City continued to send part of our client's
paycheck on to the State. We pointed out that this should not happen because
his pay was now exempt disability benefits. The City disagreed. The City
ultimately stopped paying the State and paid our client his money because
their own previous paystubs read "payment on disability," as
we advised them it had when it paid the State.

Taxpayer Saves Over $250,000!

A self-employed husband and wife came to us in much despair on how to tackle
the overmounting tax debt of $297,768. They didn’t know where to
turn and were tired of sleepless nights. They made the right decision
in coming to our office. We quickly created a customized action plan and
were able to come to an agreement with the IRS. After tirelessly advocating
for our clients, the debt was resolved with a $20,410 Offer in Compromise!

Offer In Compromise Accepted For Mother Of Five!

Mother of five who got stuck with a tax bill created by her ex-husband
and his business. Their divorce decree stated that he would take care
of the taxes but after a couple years he had not done so. She was very
anxious and had recently remarried. She wanted to free herself of the
tax debt so she could move on with the new phase of her life. She came
to us to seek innocent spouse but after talking to her and becoming familiar
with her situation, we decided to give the offer in compromise a try.
The offer was accepted for $4250 on a liability of $66,367.60. That’s
approximately a 94% reduction!

Travis Watkins Negotiates Currently Not Collectible Status For Oklahoma City Therapist

Travis Watkins Negotiates Currently Not Collectible Status For Oklahoma City Therapist

Friday, March 2, 2012 about 5:00 p.m. we received word from an IRS supervisor
that they had accepted our proposal to place a woman in her 60's,
a local self-employed therapist, into Status 53 (currently not collectible
status). With a levy on the horizon, we were forced to immediately deal
with the IRS' Automated Collection Services (ACS). This wing is nasty!

ACS wanted to use our client's gross income, divide it by 12 and put
her on an unconscionable 1 year installment plan. By the way, this ain't
how it's done. All IRS collection alternatives run off of net income.
Most importantly, when our client's allowable expenses were properly
subtracted from the gross income, there was $4 per month left over on
which she had to live! When challenged, the IRS agent would not budge
on his mistake, and threatened to levy.

We appealed the methodology internally several times before a managerial
supervisor took over and agreed that the proper protocol in the IRS collection
manual is, in fact, to use net income (gross income minus allowable expenses)
as the method for determining collectibility. This is the right result.
The IRS must refrain from collection against her until her income shows
an ability to pay.

Fist bumps, high fives all around at quitting time on a Friday. Man, I
love this job!

IRS Releases Million Dollar Lien Filed In Error Against Our Clients

IRS Releases Million Dollar Lien Filed In Error Against Our Clients

Let me say it again: the IRS makes mistakes. This one could have been costly,
as it was for more than $1 million.

Taxpayers Business Almost Takes Home.

Taxpayers Business Almost Takes Home.

A husband and wife, with 4 kids, owned a local business that was struggling
to stay alive. When this business started to go under they got behind
on payroll taxes. This was a struggle for the mother of 4, because her
husband was required to travel for months at a time for his career. This
left the once flexible mother in turmoil. The family then took out a 2nd
mortgage to keep their business afloat. The business still did not survive
and was forced to close. The financial instituion with the 2nd mortgage
started foreclosure proceedings on the home that forced them into an aggressive
payment plan on that mortgage to save their house. As owners of the business,
both husband and wife were determined by the IRS to be responsible parties
and were each assessed a civil penalty of $35,737. Shortly after the taxpayers
hired us, the husband was issued a wage garnishment that could have cost
his job. We entered them into a direct debit installment agreement, released
the wage levy, and then determined an Offer in Compromise was their best
course of action. Because the civil penalty liability was joint and several,
it was important that we get an Offer in Compromise for both parties and
they ultimately paid $3,686 on a $34,737 civil penalty assessment!

Travis Watkins Gets Local Business' Bank Levy Released

Travis Watkins Gets Local Business' Bank Levy Released

January 10, 2012. This just in! Travis Watkins gets client's bank levy
released! After filing appeals left and right, speaking with supervisors
and exhausting all options within the IRS system (everything short of
filing a law suit) success came over the fax machine today.

The official Release of Levy in hand is a huge success. Bank levies are
typically hard to release as they are one-time levies, and the bank holds
all funds in the account for 21 days, and then remits those funds over
to the IRS. In this particular instance, the IRS imposed both an improper
and unlawful levy and Travis Watkins took the IRS on head-to-head and
succeeded in getting the IRS to release the improper bank levy.

Travis Watkins Negotiates Currently Not Collectible Status For Disabled Woman

We recently had success getting another client in a collection hold (status
53)! Our client, a former Tinker Air Force Base employee, can no longer
work because of her bi-polar condition and severe diabetes. Her diabetes
resulted in a leg amputation.

Our client had previously been in uncollectible status, but for some reason,
the IRS bumped her back out of it. We successfully argued to the IRS that
she should go back into uncollectible status based on her disabilities.

Our self-employed client fell behind on estimated payments for several
years. The liability started out relatively small and soon ballooned into
something much larger. She became more and more concerned about the ever-mounting
debt she accumulated. She then, got herself into a payment plan she really
couldn't afford and came to us to look at possible penalty abatement.
After the investigation, it was determined that we should file an Offer
in Compromise for her as she had minimal assets and just enough income
to cover necessary living expenses.

IRS Waives $209,650 In Penalties!

A recent taxpayer decided to go into business with a “reliable”
partner. Once their business was established, our client discovered that
his business partner was embezzling company funds and had not paid their
payroll tax. After working with authorities the criminal business partner
went to prison and the court ordered he pay $400,000 in restitution. Since
the payroll tax was never paid during this time, the business itself is
liable for almost $1 million in tax liability! We were able to quickly
establish a customized plan and negotiate with the IRS to waive all penalties
for a total savings of $209,650! Now our office is in position to resolve
the remainder of his tax debt.

Watkins Saves Mom And Pop Trucking Company From Full Effect Of Existing IRS Levy

Watkins Saves Mom And Pop Trucking Company From Full Effect Of Existing IRS Levy

Mr. Watkins negotiated a partial levy release for a small family-owned
trucking company in far northwestern Oklahoma this week. The trucking
company is deeply in debt for payroll taxes. The company retained our
office to stop an existing IRS bank levy and negotiate collection alternatives
with an IRS Revenue Officer assigned to the case. The trucking company
had about $51,000 frozen in the account on the day the levy hit.

The day after we were retained, we successfully negotiated a release of
all but $16,000 of the levy (i.e. a $35,000 savings) with the assigned
Revenue Officer. The company had outstanding checks to vendors that would
have been returned for insufficient funds, thus effectively killing the
company, had the partial release not issued.

Offer Accepted For $50 On A $1,800,000 Liability!

A recent client was going through struggles that no one hopes for as a
business owner--a levy on their Accounts Receivable. Instead of receiving
payments from his clients, the funds were intercepted and paid directly
to the IRS. This was a devastating blow financially and to the business'
reputation. To further complicate the situation, English was his second
language and speaking with the revenue officer proved to be impossible.
We were able to negotiate the release of the levies AND successfully settled
for $50 on a $1,800,000 liability!

unfiled tax returns. also, the IRS had filed some returns for him which
resulted in a tax liability of $32,386! The IRS then took action and started
garnishing his wages. He was unable to provide for his family, due to
the financial burden he was handed over. Upon investigation, we were able
to quickly negotiate with the IRS and stop the wage garnishment. Our client
now owes the IRS only $475, because of the outstanding professional service
we were able to provide!

Nothing gives you a sense of powerlessness like a Federal Tax Lien. Just
ask my client, Robert Sprinkle. It’s the IRS’ not so gentle
way of securing its interest in your real and personal property when you
have back taxes.
However, Mr. Sprinkle didn’t have back taxes. In fact, he was/is a model citizen. This 85 year old hero fought for
our country in the Korea and Vietnam Wars, he is 100% service disabled
and was generally enjoying his well-deserved retirement when the country
he fought hard defending came knocking. The IRS wanted him to pay the
taxes of someone else!

In 2008, Mr. Sprinkle sold some property to an acquaintance. We’ll
call him Mr. Jones. Jones signed a Promissory Note with amortized monthly
installments and gave Sprinkle a mortgage on the property. Sprinkle properly
recorded the mortgage with the County. Over the course of some time, Jones
paid Sprinkle about $6,000 toward his note. Unfortunately, in the meantime,
Jones failed to pay his taxes for 2 years and the IRS filed 2 liens on
the property in the combined amount of about $40,000.00.

After the tax liens were filed, Jones could not pay Sprinkle per the note.
To save Sprinkle the effort and expense of a judicial foreclosure proceeding,
Jones gave Sprinkle the property back and quitclaimed a deed to Sprinkle.
(Bank of America, Countrywide and other big banks do this all the time.
Their tall building lawyers call it a “deed in lieu of foreclosure”).
Sounds reasonable and pragmatic, right? Sprinkle took superior title to
the property. The county appraiser’s records show that the property
was worth significantly less than Jones owed Sprinkle on the note. Sprinkle
did not know about the liens.

Fast forward to April, 2012. Sprinkle performed a title search on the property
and found the liens. He called the IRS several times and got the runaround.
He hired us to handle the problem. We requested a lien withdrawal from
the IRS’ lien advisory group for this area, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Lien advisory requested a certified appraisal of the property before it
denied our request. Interestingly, the certified appraisal we requested
showed that the property was worth less than it was worth when Jones gave
Sprinkle the property back.

The Internal Revenue Manual talks about non-judicial foreclosure (i.e.
deed in lieu of foreclosure proceedings). It says that the IRS will do
a lien valuation (value of the property, less 20%, less competing property
interests and administrative costs). Sprinkle took the property back,
subject to the IRS’ liens, but, as stated, Jones owed Sprinkle significantly
more than the property was worth when he took it back from Jones. In fact,
it was worth less years later when Sprinkle asked for the liens to be
removed, as shown by the certified appraisal Sprinkle paid for on the
property at the IRS’ request. In other words, the IRS liens were
valueless any way you cut it, and they should have been released. Easy
right? Wrong.

Tulsa lien advisory told us they were getting a legal opinion on this from
IRS legal. Weeks later they came back, threw around some case names (with
irrelevant points) and told us we lose. There were different, outlandish
theories of why we lose, but they would not put any in writing (one higher
up even said that the IRS owned the property outright now, since Sprinkle
released the mortgage when Jones gave him the property back!). They did
say that Sprinkle could pay the IRS $6,000 of Jones’ tax bill to
have the liens removed. When pressured, the IRS told us the $6,000 was
the amount that Sprinkle had been enriched at the expense of the government. What?

We then embarked on a sea of bureaucracy appealing the decision up the
chain of command, for several months, until we ultimately got to the chief
of all appeals. He agreed within minutes that the IRS’ lien was
valueless at the time Sprinkle took back title to the property. After
jumping through some more red tape, IRS lien advisory Tulsa begrudgingly
issued the releases nearly 9 months later. There are few, if any, real
estate transactions that could wait for this type of runaround.

into tax trouble by not fulfilling his payroll responsibilities. His tax
debt quickly rose to an outstanding balance of over $200,000. Since he
decided to not take immediate action, a revenue officer was then assigned

IRS Releases Levies Of Prominent Oklahoma City Lawyer

IRS Releases Levies Of Prominent Oklahoma City Lawyer

The IRS has released a wrongful levy of a high profile OKC lawyer, who
is our client. The Revenue Officer assigned to the case performed "research"
of public court filings on the Oklahoma Supreme Court Network ("OSCN")
and determined some of the lawyer's corporate clients from court filings.
Also available to the R.O. in her search of these public filings were
the courthouses in which lawyer practiced.

The R.O. then sent levies to 22 potential clients of lawyer to attempt
to obtain monies that these clients might owe the lawyer, as attorney's
fees. The IRS may levy third parties who hold money on behalf of a delinquent
taxpayer. The problem here was, these clients had a contractual relationship
with the corporate law office of the lawyer, not the lawyer individually.
The lawyer individually owes the tax, not his law office. The IRS knows
better, or it should.

To add insult to injury, the R.O. sent levies to the courthouses in which
lawyer routinely practiced. Imagine my client's awe and surprise when
a Court of Appeals Justice handed him a levy. I remain puzzled as to the
theory whereby a court might be holding funds for an individual lawyer.
Needless to say, relations between the lawyer and his clients and the
courts he practices in have become strained. Of course, the R.O.'s
response was essentially no-harm, no-foul, your client owes alot of taxes.
